Downingtown High School - Our Year Cuckoo Yearbook (Downingtown, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1963 volume:

It is our intention to give to you by word and picture an over-all view of our school year. The Class of 1963 Reviews Downingtown Joint Senior High Downingtown, Pennsylvania The lobby with its plants and pictures gives a friendly welcome to all who enter our school. The court adds beauty and light to the school building. In the auditorium the student body meets every Wednesday for an assembly program. CLASSES Between classes the corridors are filled with students. To all students lunch is a welcome break in each school day. DRIVER TRAINING Each day uncertain, frightened students take turns driving Mr. Goudie through Down-ingtown and over country roads. Driver Training gives the students practice, so that each will become an efficient driver. The class, as a group, meets once a week for further instruction. Every student will remember with a smile his experiences in learning to drive. GUIDANCE This is the guidance office where students are helped with their various problems. The guidance counselor must give vocational guidance and tests. He plans conferences for seniors, and helps many students decide what they intend to do after graduation. Although- this job involves many responsibilities, Mr. Kline and Miss Keyes enjoy it. LIRRARY The library is an essential part of any school, and Downingtown High is proud to have one of the best. At the present time, there are about 5,000 books and 120 different magazines. It is also equipped with reference books, a vocational file, and a newspaper section. The library is a haven for those who wish to search for knowledge, to enjoy the world of adventure, or to gather materials for research. Social Studies Prepare for Future Citizenry THE STUDENTS OF iMR. APPLEBY’S CLASS ARE LEARNING ABOUT THE PAST AND PRESENT PROBLEMS IN OTHER AREAS OF THE WORLD. At the present time the Social Studies curriculum is being revised greatly. This year the seventh grade is taught United States History up to, and including, the Revolution; the eighth grade, United States History from the formation of government to the Spanish-American War; the ninth grade, the cultures of Africa, the Near East, the Far East, the South East, and India. In the senior high school the tenth grade studies World Culture; the eleventh grade, United States History; the twelfth grade, Problems of Democracy. Next year the tenth grade will concentrate on specific areas: Europe, Slavic Countries, Latin America, World War I, and World War II. English Emphasizes Self-Expression THE TAPE RECORDER IS USED TO IMPROVE ORAL EXPRESSION AS JIM WILLIAMSON, BARBARA WARNER, CHERYL ROHRER, AND CHARLES ALEXANDER OBVIOUSLY KNOW. English is a tool for living. As students learn to speak and write their language, they appreciate what these skills can do for them. They gain satisfaction as they create in the realm of imagination and express their thoughts in organized opinions and ideas. 10 Health and Gym Develop Physical Fitness OSCAR MAY NOT BE THE BEST LOOKING MODEL BUT HE IS CERTAINLY USEFUL FOR HEALTH CLASSES. In the field of health, a great effort is made to make the students conscious of the importance of proper care of their physical being. Great strides are being made in the field of health; therefore, it is necessary to impress the students of their role in improving the health of the individual which will, in turn, improve the health of the nation. The desirable outcomes of health instruction are to gain a knowledge of the functions of the body and to encourage and motivate the students to apply this knowledge in their daily living. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPORTS IS VOLLEYBALL WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE INTRAMURAL PROGRAM. Physical education is an important phase of the school curriculum. It is vitally important that all students be exposed to all types of physical activity throughout the total educational program. A properly planned program will meet the individual’s interrelated developmental needs: physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Activities and learning experiences in physical education are broad in their scope w'ith emphasis placed upon the acquisition of worthwhile habits, attitudes, knowledge, and skills. SORRY, DONNA, THE SCALES ARE NOT WRONG. Our school is fortunate to have the latest equipment, the best facilities and an experienced nurse who cares for the well being of the students. The health suite is a place where each student can get emotional aid and guidance as well as medical care. II Industrial Arts Yields Many Useful Products Industrial Arts students do not need the modern “Do It Yourself” kit. for they learn their skills in shop classes. The finished projects are exhibited in the local, county, and Delaware Valley fairs in the spring. The department includes a metal shop, a wood shop, a print shop, and mechanical drawing. Students in all these shops find that emphasis throughout is on vocational use of the skills acquired. HOUSE PLANS FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING COURSE ARE DRAWN UP BY JAMIE PARTLOW, ASSISTED BY RICHARD STANESKI AND BOB MENNA. AMPLE SPACE AND EXCELLENT EQUIPMENT ADD PLEASURE TO SHOP WORK. EENY, MEENY, MINEY, MO! SAY THE BOYS AS THEY SET TYPE FOR THE JUNIOR PLAY PROGRAM. Commercial Department Trains for the Business World KNOWING HOW TO OPERATE OFFICE MACHINES IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE AS ROBERTA BAER, GAIL FRY, DONNA McELROY, AND LINDA MERCER WELL KNOW. The Business Education Department is designed to develop business skills to a degree of marketable efficiency and occupational competence. It also aids in the development of those personality traits necessary for getting along with others in business and for intelligent participation in personal, family, and community activities. Its many classes include typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, economics and law, advanced business, office practice, clerical practice, retail selling, and business mathematics. Ul TYPING PREPARES STUDENTS FOR FUTURE EMPLOYMENT AND FOR COLLEGE. Mathematics and Science Challenge Analytical Minds “THINK” IS THE COMMAND OF SUSAN WHITTAKER AS SHE EXPLAINS A PROBLEM IN ALGEBRA II TO BILL POLLOCK, MARY A. SMEDLEY, AND PAT BROWN. At Downingtown High a student has ample opportunity to become acquainted with arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and the new math which is now being introduced. Indeed, every student who leaves our school will have benefited in some way from the Mathematics Department. In senior high the three science courses offered are biology, chemistry, and physics. Biology is required for graduation while chemistry and physics are elective subjects. Although science is essential for students going to college, it is profitable for all students. IN BIOLOGY LAB SANDY DEMATTEO, DICK WATTS, CHARLES TINDER, CHARLES BACKENSTOSE, AND BARBARA HADFIELD STUDY THE HABITS OF BACTERIA. JEAN WATTS, PAUL BACKENSTOSE, CHARLES KUHS, AND GWEN HABECKER ARE MAKING NITRIC ACID. Art and Music Are Both Cultural and Practical A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND THOUGHT ARE PUT INTO EACH ART PROJECT. Each marking period the students gather around the tables to discuss their projects for the next report period. Each student must choose a different project each marking period, so he will be introduced to the various fields of art which include crafts, pottery, ceramics, printing, and the different mediums of painting: oils, water colors, tempera, chalk, and charcoal. Frequent practices in instrumental sections improve performance. Technique, which is a requirement for each person, is perfected outside regular class time. Practice is necessary for precision, control, and the ability to play in a group. The Music Department offers training for those who have musical talents which they wish to develop and also teaches an appreciation of music. PERFECT RHYTHM?? AT LEAST THIS MUSIC-CONSCIOUS GROUP IS PUTTING FORTH ITS BEST EFFORT. Foreign Languages Open Doors to Foreign Lands PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. The success of the language laboratory at D.H.S. depends upon three essential ingredients—the choice of proper equipment, a sound program planned well in advance, and teachers with the necessary enthusiasm and imagination to make the program w’ork. Its benefits become more apparent to everyone after each laboratory session. The students hear languages as they are spoken by the citizens of other countries as well as recordings by Americans. Moreover, the students feel less self-conscious about pronouncing new words in a private booth than in front of often unsympathetic classmates. “GALLIA EST OMNIS DIVISA IN PARTES TRES” IS STATED BY KENNY MATTHEWS IN LATIN CLASS. Learning foreign languages aids students by opening the doors to foreign lands and by giving a better understanding of the aspirations and ideals of other people. This year Spanish has been added to the foreign language curriculum. {'I Home Economics and Agriculture Prepare for the Future The Home Economics curriculum has a greatly diversified program. The girls climax their study of cooking by serving a dinner which they have planned and prepared. The study of sewing ends with a tea and fashion show for friends and relatives. In addition to cooking and sewing the girls acquire a knowledge of personal and community relationships, child care, health, and safe living. “WE HOPE WE HAVE SOLVED THE SHRINKAGE PROBLEM” AGREE RUTH ELLEN BURKHART, PEGGY MacDOUGAL, AND JUDY KERR. Tractor maintenance is only one of the practical phases of the study of agriculture. During the year the students work both in the shop and in the classroom. In the shop they do electric welding, cold metal work, concrete work, and they practice shop safety. In the classroom they study animal, soil, and crop science. The Agriculture Department is the only vocational department in the school. DISCUSSING THE REPAIR OF A TRACTOR ARE RICHARD WHEATLEY, ROY LUPOLD, ROBERT RICE, EDCAR DONNON, WALTER JANKOWSKI, AND ROBERT RUARK. 17 ADMINISTRATION I Joint High School Board DOWNINGTOWN AREA WEST BRADFORD UPPER UWCHLAN WEST PIKELAND Elmer F.

With the welfare of the school and the student body in mind, they have done the long range planning for new buildings, a capable faculty, and greater facilities. Their service, given freely, has produced a better, more efficient Downingtown Joint High School. 20 RAYMOND R. BAUGHER Superintendent of Schools For six years the head of Downingtown schools. Mr. Baugher brings to his position many years of experience, having served as Supervising Principal at Lower Paxton Township for twenty years and of the Northern Lehigh Joint Schools for six years. Mr. Baugher is a graduate of Elizabethtown College, of Columbia University, and bas taken his administration courses at Temple University. At the present time he is a member of many civic and professional organizations: Downingtown Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Pennsylvania State Education Association, National Education Association, American Association of School Administrators, Suburban School Study Council, Associated Public School Systems, National School Public Relations Association, and the National Society for he Study of Education. HAPPINESS AND YOU Through the centuries men have sought to work out a simple formula for the good life. To be happy has been described as the ultimate goal of all ambition, all endeavor, all hopes and plans. Genuine happiness is not dependent on external things. The kind of happiness that stays with you is the kind that springs from inward thoughts and emotions. An empty mind grows bored and cannot endure itself; an empty mind seeks pleasure as a substitute for real happiness. It is not something one person can hand to another; it requires individual initiative. I hope that each of you will have developed a curious and inquiring mind—one “with attractive and interesting pictures on the walls.” The aim of the teachers has been to furnish your minds with interesting thoughts and ideas. RAYMOND R. BAUGHER Superintendent of Schools 21 SAMUEL M. EVANS Senior High School Principal As the school year of 1962-1963 draws to a close, the Senior Class proudly reviews its final year with Mr. Evans, principal, a capable leader who understands youth and its many problems in modern society. Holding the position of principal of Downingtown Joint High School for seventeen years, he is an outstanding example of school spirit. The office of principal requires devotion to one’s work and love of students. Congratulations, Mr. Evans, for a job wrell done. GUY R. KLINE Assistant Principal and Guidance Counselor Mr. Kline, Assistant Principal and Guidance Counselor, deserves our thanks for his patience and understanding. His services to us are many: he advises students with problems; he administers tests; he plans classes and courses suited to individual needs; he helps us to know ourselves; he encourages us to aim for worthwhile goals. You, Mr. Kline, have been, and always will be, a credit to our school. 22 v (lftr w v J CAMPBELL, £'r' Social Studies O NICHOLAS CAPECE, B.S. Commercial Mathematics, Economics HOWARD J. CASKEY, B.S.

Welcome to Maria Maria Izquierdo came to Downingtown High School as an exchange student under the American Field Service program. Maria is seventeen years old and has finished her high school course in her native Barcelona, Spain. Living there are her parents, her sister Margerita, and her brother Jesus. Maria has been an active participant in the Senior Class activities. She was, of course, very realistic as the Spanish maid in the Senior play “Snafu.” Maria likes sports and has participated in the intramural program for girls. Learning English as it is used by Downingtown students has been quite a job for her, but Maria has done very well. Many community and school groups have had the pleasure of hearing her tell of her family and homeland. We hope that Maria will always remember Downingtown with affection as we shall remember her.

Certainly, the outstanding victories over Boyertown, West Chester, and Coatesville will remain in our minds for years to come. However, more important to you are the many experiences that you have gained by playing the sport and your ability to apply them in your everyday living. The desire each boy must have, the effort he must put forth, and the sacrifices he must make are necessary ingredients for playing interscholastic football. Success in adult life will come only by applying these same qualities to your daily living. Indeed, you are to be commended for your outstanding playing during the football season, for your scholarly attitude, and for your gentlemanly conduct both on and off the field. The All-League honors awarded to William Pollock, James Price and Ellis Brown are noteworthy achievements. Congratulations again to each member of the squad and good luck!
